Pont Charles-de-Gaulle Reviews

Despite this bridge not being as famous as some of the others, this bridge still gives some beautiful panoramic views of the city of Paris along the Seine and still offers a really nice walk. It’s open all the time and is really beautiful at any time of the day, especially during sunrise or sunset when the sun reflects against the Paris skyline or at night when the skyline is all lit up. Since it’s close to many of the attractions of the city, it’s a great location for those wanting to spend time in the city. And since it’s not as popular as the other bridges, it is not that packed with tourists, making it more enjoyable of a stroll to some. The architectural work of the bridge is also absolutely stunning, and is a great opportunity for photos.
